What I've Read in 2015

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn This was good. I followed and played into what the author wanted from me. I was not happy with the ending though...at all.

Why the Jews by Dennis Prager and Joseph Telushkin This was so insightful and explains things that I before had not been able to comprehend. A very important read..especially in these times.

Wreckage by Emily Bleeker. Tells the tale of a deserted island, plane crash survivors and the lies they tell...I enjoyed this one.

American Sniper by Chris Kyle. I enjoyed this book...Will see the movie one day. I found the author's perspective interesting and insightful. Certainly makes me appreciate what our soldiers sacrifice on our behalf more profound.

Queen of Swords by Sara Donati. The 5th in the series. Much takes place in New Orleans during the War of 1812. I enjoy how the characters in each book has grown and that I feel as though I know them. What will I do when the final book arrives at the library? Don;t want this series to end, but I suppose it must.

Fire Along the Sky by Sarah Donati...The fourth in the "Wilderness" series...Still love these so much!

Still Alice by Lisa Genova This is being made into a movie which is why I grabbed it. The story of a woman with early onset Alzheimer's Disease. Told from her perspective. Having a family history with the disease, I found it hitting a little bit close to home as well as eye opening. It is a tough read for that reason and I will not watch the movie...not sure I could handle it.

Peace Like a River by Leif Enger As I began this book, I felt I knew the story from somewhere....Not sure why. Story of bullies, justice, a father's love and relationship with God, murder and family as told from the eyes of an 11 year old boy. Enjoyed this.
